Daycare...
Posted: 04-11-06 09:39am

I just dropped trey off for his first day at daycare. We're doing the integration so he does not freak out at a full day. He'll be there from 9:30-3 today. He seemed fine when I left. We have been going to a moms and tots group since he was 2months so he's used to other kids. Anyway. I'm going to do some spring cleaning to keep my mind off my baby being away!!!

I don't think i'm going to be able to afford it. I make a decent salary but after I pay everything for the month I can't afford to pay $600 a month on top of that. I haven't found one cheaper than that anyway

yeah. We dont need daycare, since .We have family that watches him. But if we had to.. I'd rather quit school til he was older and in school himself than put him in daycare in florida. Every summer atleast 2 kids die because the idiots leave them in vans when its 100 degrees outside. (making it 150 in the van) becuase they "forgot" about them. One guy last year took the van home after forgetting to drop one of the kids off, and went inside his house and fell asleep, got up and got ready for his second job, then when he was leaving later that evening saw the kid dead already.


Or they hire 18 yr olds who just got a license to drive the big vans and busses with no experience so they end up rolling them off the side of the road.


I dont trust daycares.


neither do I but I may not have a choice. We'll see what his daddy says.

I agree is is really sad here their are a lot of day care in th.U.S.A that get shut down but their are some good. I do like the rule though that you are not allowed to come and pick up your kid if you smell like booze as anymoore one beer can get you a dui but some of the day care's are dirty, they do not keep an eye on the kids or keep them safely busy while their are others that are great.
I am glad trey did okay or is it mommy did okay with day care, lol. When are you going back to work lil_ blaze? When are you going to show us some hew pictures?
Good luck?

I'm hoping to line up enough freelance editing/writing jobs to work from home and get a little pay. It won't be near what I make at my job now, but my argument toward that is that not having to spend any money on daycare will make up a .T.O.N of difference.

Plus, I just .W.A.N.T (like many, many mommies) to spend as much of my son's early life as I can with him. You can't get that back. And if I have an opportunity to do that, why shouldn't i?

He was really good they said, he only cried once near the end of the day cause he got bopped by another baby, but that was it we'll see how it goes on thursday. Now I just need to find a job to go along with daycare-lol

and yes, we have a good system in quebec, it's only here that they do the 7$/day not all of canada, plus we are getting 100$ extra per month for child care starting in july from the governement but that is all of canada. We get pretty good bonuses here monthly.. About 200$ from provincial gov't and 366$ starting in july from federal (right now it's 266) you get even more if you're on social assistance, like my sil gets like 500 from one and 700 from another but she has 2 kids and stays home with them so she's on welfare. But there are benefits to living here. Free medical, cheap daycare, good family allowance monthly, winter sucks though-lol

hunh? Here my aunt and uncle make over $200,000 together and still get family allowance twice a month. And they're increasing the federal family allowance by 100$ for each child under 6 for child care expenses.

What? You can actually have an income and still get help? Not so here. It's complicated but here unless you're dirt poor you don't qualify for crap!
